Protecting our collections is one of our fundamental responsibilities as
archivists. The Heritage Health Index, released in 2005 soon after hurricanes
Katrina, Rita, and Wilma struck the Gulf
Coast
But on May 1 – this year and every year – you can do something that will make a difference when and
if an emergency occurs. That’s the purpose of MayDay – a grassroots effort
whose goal is to save our archives.
MayDay is a time when archivists and
other cultural heritage professionals take personal and professional
responsibility for doing something simple – something that can be accomplished
in a day but that can have a significant impact on an individual’s or a
repository’s ability to respond.
What are you or the archives and libraries near
you doing to celebrate May Day?
